A spokesperson said the award was based on Allianz’s “dedication to constant improvement and innovation” and its commitment to serving customers, particularly during their time of need.
“That is a company mantra that directly translates into the mortgage broker channel. We are investing resources into better systems, sales processes and claims efficiencies,” the spokesperson said.
“We also deliver in a 'moment of truth'. Let’s face it: the value of insurance is only demonstrated when you need to make a claim. In 2013, we accepted 96.4 per cent of all home and 99.4 per cent of all motor claims assessed.”
The key benefit Allianz offers to brokers is that it operates under a no-advice model, according to the spokesperson.
“So, essentially, the broker only needs to pre-position the customer and send us their details and we take care of the rest,” the spokesperson said.
“We keep the broker updated and [provide] a certificate of insurance at a successful sale.”
